Description

I was a huge fan of Scott McDaniel's run on Green Arrow -- my favorite male DC hero -- so when the opportunity to have Scott add a GA-featured scene to the Common Elements gallery, I pounced.

Scott's energetic linework and brilliant design sensibility are on full display here. When presented with the trifecta of Green Arrow (a.k.a. Oliver QUEEN), Wonder Woman (a.k.a. Diana PRINCE), and Infinity Inc.'s Brainwave Jr. (a.k.a. Henry KING, Jr.), Scott envisioned a "battle royal" that suggests each hero's native milieu.

But here -- let Scott tell you in his own words:

"My thought was simply to feature the heroes doing what they do best, as a team springing into action. The concept: the background would be an amalgamation of each character's natural environment. For Green Arrow - an urban setting. For Wonder Woman - an Amazon forest. For Brainwave Jr., a high-tech, science fiction laboratory. And since I felt the urban skyline would best visually capture Ollie's world, I positioned him at the top. Given the POV with its slight angle counter-clockwise, I felt that Henry's slick tech walls would transform into Ollie's brick buildings best if he was positioned on the left, leaving Diana to occupy the right. I think it works pretty well!"

I could not agree more, Scott!

This is Common Elements #134.

Tremendous and an a truly ingenious "common element" among them -- I always try to figure out the linkage before I read your description but I admit I was stumped here and DISTRACTED by the gorgeous line work Scott did -- amazing in all ways!
